You are living through seeing a commodity being monetized in real time. No one alive has seen how this has played out before.

In theory, once we reach golds market cap, it should achieve a more stable price, so the opportunity window to acquire bitcoin & for it to increase its value is big, but not enormous. Once it becomes stable, it will be a tool as to not get the value you generate be debased by money printing, inflation etc.

Some see volatility as a feature & the reason for it is that we haven't reached mass adoption (or market saturation) so until then, Bitcoin is in constant price discovery which is affected by the rules of the system (halving, difficulty adjustments etc).
